The Uniform Federal Policy for Implementing Environmental Quality Systems (UFP) outlines essential elements of a Quality System for management of environmental data collection and use and environmental technology programs. The policy was developed as a joint initiative between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Department of Defense (DoD), and the Department of Energy (DOE) to resolve data quality inconsistencies and/or deficiencies.

QA/G-10 will provide guidance to organizations on developing a program-specific QA training program for all levels of management and staff. The document will provide a process to define the types of quality assurance and quality control training that may be needed by managers and staff to support the EPA Quality System.

This document was prepared by the EPA Office of Wetlands, Oceans, and Watersheds (OWOW), and is designed to encourage and facilitate the development of volunteer QAPPs by presenting explanations and examples. The examples follow the format of the EPA QA/R-5 EPA Requirements for Quality Assurance Project Plans for Environmental Data Operations guidance. This document explains the basic steps and processes one goes through when preparing a quality assurance project plan. Highly recommended introductory-level document if you are just getting started with the preparation of quality assurance project plans for any EPA program.
